ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SYSTEM ON CHIP AND METHOD FOR MONITORING DATA TRAFFIC

摘要

An electronic device is provided which comprises a plurality of processing units (IP1-IP6; M1-M4), a network-based interconnect (N) with a plurality of network links (L1-L6) and a network interface (NI; MNI; DNI) which is associated to at least one of the processing units (IP1-IP6; M1-M4) and which serves to couple the processing units (IP1-IP6; M1-M4) to the network-based interconnect (N). The plurality of processing units (IP1-IP6; M1-M4) communicate among each other via a plurality of communication paths (C1-C4). At least two communication paths (C1-C4) are merged along the at least one shared network link (L1-L6) if a combined bandwidth of the at least two communication paths does not exceed an available bandwidth of the at least one shared network link (L1-L6).
